The Finley community is a step closer to an improved local health facility with Stage 2 of the Finley Health Service Redevelopment now complete and the project’s final phase of construction to get underway.
The Minns Government is investing $25 million in the Finley Health Service Redevelopment, which will deliver modern, fit-for-purpose health facilities that better support the health needs of Finley and surrounding communities.
Once complete, the redevelopment will provide new and refurbished clinical and public spaces, including:
- a new Medical Imaging Unit
- upgrades to the Emergency Department
- an expanded inpatient unit
- a new main hospital entry with a larger reception space
Stage 2 included a refurbishment of the eastern part of the existing hospital, including the roof, central corridor and staff room, as well as internal works in preparation the next stage of work.
Stage 3 includes construction of three, 2-bed inpatient rooms with ensuites, a new main entry, reception and administration area, upgrades to the Emergency Department (ED), and a new Medical Imaging Unit.
Works will also continue on the replacement of the hospital building roof, along with internal refurbishments in the hospital’s western wing, to improve functionality and patient experiences.
All hospital services including the ED continue to operate during construction. All the Hospital’s redevelopment activities are being carried out to minimise disruption to patients, staff, and visitors.
To maintain safe access during construction, some health services will be temporarily relocated, including the hospital’s main entry and ED, reception and administration, and inpatient unit.
From 8.00 am Wednesday 27 May, access to the temporary main entry and ED is via the eastern end of the hospital.
Signage is in place to support patients, visitors, and staff accessing the hospital while work is carried out.
Car parking along Dawe Street remains unchanged and is the closest parking option for hospital access. A drop-off and pick-up zone and new accessible parking spaces are available near the temporary main entry to support patients and visitors with limited mobility.
The Finley Health Service Redevelopment is expected to be completed in 2027.
